Sometimes, starting a conversation about mental health can feel awkward, but just by reaching out, you can be the difference. You don't have to be an expert to help someone feel heard and cared for. Learn more about how to start the conversation at seizetheawkward.org.
If you or someone you know needs support, please speak with a school counselor. For immediate assistance, contact the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline:

Today is a great reminder to check that our students are packing their backpacks safely to avoid injury. Here are a few tips:
👉Pack smart and distribute the weight.
👉Regularly clean out your backpack and only carry what's necessary for the day.
👉Pack light and use your locker.
👉Always use both shoulder straps.
👉Bend at the knees when picking up your backpack.
Let's keep our students safe and healthy this school year!
All staff should report to their work site 2 hours late. Afternoon employees report at their regularly scheduled time.
All classes will dismiss at their regular time. After-school and evening events will continue as scheduled.
This decision has been made to prioritize the safety of our students and staff.
A huge thank you to our incredible Technology Department for keeping our schools connected and running smoothly. Your dedication makes a world of difference every day!
